In a world without aging, how do we age?

EDIT: As it turns out the method I had thought of using to combat aging doesn't work the way I expected. As such I have rethought this question in more vague terms.

New Question: Using current hypothetical methods of radical life extension as a basis, in what manner would age manifest in a human's appearance?

Original Question

In my setting, telomere replacement therapy effectively eliminates a lot of the ageing process. However, to my knowledge this would only affect the DNA itself reducing the onset of things like cancers.

Is there any knowledge as to which aspects of ageing this would affect?

Would people still have saggy skin or get shorter?

How do we decay when our telomeres don't?
